Technophobia: Examining its hidden factors and defining it

- Researchers used technophobia interchangeably with terms such as computer anxiety/phobia which is confusing and misleading.
- Technophobia is a more comprehensive attitude toward various forms of technology and computer phobia is one instance of it.
- Technophobia is not a one construct variable, it has several hidden factors.
- The study proposes a new scale for measuring technophobia using five sub-dimensions identified in the data analysis.
- Technophobia was defined based on the findings of the study rather than an intellectually appealing one is proposed.
